At first glance the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge seemed uncharacteristically serious as they took in a dance performance by a charity group in London today.

But the young couple were soon struggling to keep their royal compusure as a male dancer took to the stage shaking his hips in a style similar to the 'twerk' made famous by singer Miley Cyrus.

Kate and William were on a visit to the Only Connect charity which supports ex-offenders and young people at risk of offending.

After touring the offices the pair were treated to
contemporary dance performances by the group Dance United and had the
opportunity to meet those connected to the charity, including ex-offender Mr
Russell-Andrews and his daughter.

During a visit to the Only Connect charity in London on Tuesday the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were treated to a contemporary dance performance by the group Dance United

The couple seemed relaxed and happy as they took in the show, including a 'twerk' style routine by a male dancer

Impressed: The Duke of Cambridge appeared serious throughout the show but later spoke of his admiration for the dancers

During
the visit, the Duchess of Cambridge spoke of her baby son Prince
George, and revealed that the youngster is growing up fast as she accepted
the gift of a personalised babygro from Mr Russell-Andrews.

His
daughter, 20-month-old Teegan, tried to take the present back from Kate -
after which she sympathised with Mr Russell-Andrews about how demanding
babies can be.

Mr
Russell-Andrews, 22, from Camden, north London, became involved with
Only Connect four years ago after committing a crime a day as a teenager
- including robbery, burglary and vehicle theft - and is now a
professional actor.

He
said: 'She was very pleased that Only Connect has helped me make such a
big change with my life and keep me on the right path.

Tucking in: Kate tried two pieces of their cakes herself, one an iced ginger sponge and the other a chocolate cake

Asked what Kate thought of the white
babygro, which featured the Only Connect logo and the words Prince
George underneath, Mr Russell-Andrews said: 'She was very pleased about
it. She said it's a very good fit because he's growing very fast, and
that he'll like it. Teegan tried to take back the babygro, she's very
cheeky.'

He added: 'Kate
said: "They're very demanding at this age".' While Teegan was all smiles
with Kate, she burst into tears when William started speaking to her
father - but she was soon placated with a piece of chocolate cake made
by trainees from Switchback, which aims for rehabilitation through
catering.

Bought in a sale for £162.50 - reduced from £325 - the brown and cream frock made its first appearance during a visit to a school art class in Oxford in February 2012.

Although the dress didn't quite escape unscathed from that engagement and ended up splattered with paint, it looked good as new as the Duchess mingled with crowds outside Only Connect's Pentonville Road headquarters.

And the dress wasn't the only part of her outfit making a repeat appearance: her brown suede ankle boots and black clutch were also on their second outing.

Both appeared with the dress during
the Oxford visit, during which the Duchess met children helped by the
charity The Art Room, of which she is a patron.

William's
aunt Lady Jane Fellowes, the older sister of Diana, Princess of Wales,
is a trustee of Only Connect and described them as carrying out 'inspiring and life-changing work' in a recent interview.

A Kensington Palace spokeswoman said
it was a coincidence that she is involved however and that the duke and
duchess wanted to see the work of the charity as part of their interest
in young people, describing it as a 'learning and scoping exercise'.

Speaking
after their visit, Lady Jane said: 'I'm really delighted that William
and Catherine have had the opportunity to see the work of Only Connect, a
charity that I have been supporting for many years.'

Business: The royal couple appeared relaxed - despite the watching press pack - as they arrived at the charity

Stylish: The Duchess made her recycled outfit look good as new during the appearance in London

During the visit, William chatted to dancers Moshood Ibrahim, 20, and Jannick Moth, 22, from
Dance United and asked them if there had been a technical glitch -
having noticed that music for their modern dance piece only kicked in
half-way through.

William said to them: 'I could hear clattering going on behind me. So there was a problem? I loved how you guys just rolled with it.'

Karis
Barnard, centre manager at OC Central, spoke to the duchess about
programmes the charity runs to help young people, which also reaches out
to them through the arts, including poetry.

She said: 'She said
she wasn't so good at poetry but her photography is her passion. If
she's going to do anything artistic, it's that.'

During the
visit, the royal couple watched workshops being carried out by
complementary projects Handmade Alliance, which trains prisoners to
produce textiles for British designers, and Bounce Back, which offers
training and employment in painting and decorating for offenders at the
end of their sentences.

Kate watched volunteers Elise Johnson and
Nasser Massadimi making bunting, and said to them: 'Are you guys sewing
on buttons? It looks very fiddly work.' She added: 'It's quite therapeutic, isn't it?'

Danny
Kruger, chief executive of Only Connect, which employs 25 people, told
William and Kate he was 'enormously proud' to welcome them to their
headquarters.

Mr Kruger, whose wife Emma founded the charity
eight years ago, spoke to them about the importance of charities working
together.

After the two-hour visit ended, he said: 'It was a
great thing to have them giving us a pat on the back and for our members
to get congratulated for their work and achievements, and I hope it
means we can build our profile and do more work.'

Orla Kiley: Queen of Prints

The Orla Kiely dresscoat worn by the Duchess of Cambridge sold out ‘within minutes’ of a public appearance on February 22 2012, a spokeswoman for the label said at the time.

Kate wore the coat for her first public engagement as royal patron of The Art Room, which encourages confidence in disadvantaged children.

Orla Kiely is famed for her retro, 70s-inspired prints

And she was so keen to get stuck in that
she ended up with red paint on the sleeve of her wool jacquard coat
after taking part in a class.

As soon as the duchess was spotted wearing the brown dove-patterned garment, there was an ‘absolute frenzy’ on the website, according to a the brand.

The Birdie wool jacquard shirt dress was on sale for £162.50, down from £325.

Sadly, for Kate fashion fans, it is no longer on sale.

Kiely is an Irish contemporary designer, based in London, known for her unique retro prints and designs.

She has been dubbed the 'Queen of Prints' by the fashion world. A suitable choice for the future Queen of England, perhaps.

Trained in textile design, she began her career designing hats, but moved on to handbags, clothing and a variety of other items - including kitchenware and cars.

Kate's also worn dresses by the designer. The new mum wore a steel-grey dress from Orla Kiely's Autumn Winter 2011 collection to the Dulwich Picture Gallery in March 2012.

At the time Kiely told Grazia magazine: 'When Kate wears one of your designs you get a boost.'

'The phone was ringing off the hook – email went, and one of my team counted over 800 Google alerts in that time! The only thing was, it was the end of the season so we didn’t have so many of the dresses in stock. But it’s a nice thing to happen.'
